Is there a way to access item information on the pdp from a child view you've added to it within it's initialize function without passing the item data along during creating/adding it to the pdp layout in the mountToApp function?

is there a reason you don't want to pass the data?

you can add
```, contextDataRequest: ['item']```
as a property of the view.

with that you'll have the item property available in the context to be used with
```this.contextData.item()```

example here

(it's used in PLP here but same concept applies on PDP)

<@UL7G03ZRQ> - I couldn't pass the data because I add the view when the mountToApp is first called from the PLP.  I don't have the specific data to pass that is specific to the PDP I navigate to.

<@U658H85S9> I was able to get the item data in the getContext method, thanks
